The gameplay is primarily centered around driving and a "thinking" mechanic that guides players to predetermined conclusions, emphasizing cinematic storytelling over complex mechanics. While the thought mechanic is intriguing, it lacks depth due to its restrictive nature, and the point-and-click elements feel outdated and limited. Overall, the gameplay is light and simplistic, focusing more on narrative than interactive challenge.
- “The 'thought' mechanic was interesting, although it would have been even better if it didn't force the right conclusions.”
- “As the developer mentioned, it has light mechanics; the point & click is a bit rusty, but it's very limited, so you shouldn't worry about it.”
- “For a cutscene-heavy game, the only gameplay was driving and 'thinking' (which forces you to the right answer anyway).”
